Looking at a 2014 as well now that they have for sale, driven in Florida with 72,000 miles, except this one is black instead of white. I'm trying to make up my mind, but it's tough. I'm guessing the newer the model, the better off you will be?

I would buy the newest vehicle with the least number of miles you can afford.

As far as the hours getting reset, that has been known to happen if the battery runs down. Others have posted on here about that happening to them. As was already stated, thorough inspection and a solid test drive are needed. The engine hours is only a single data point to consider.

Appreciate it guys. They are asking 15,800 for the 2014 with 72,000 miles. It has a minor fender bender, I still need to see it in person. Do you think this is a good deal? I was thinking more towards 13,500-14,000 on something like this.

Seems a bit high to me.

I'm also hearing that Asia Motors isn't a good place to buy from, that's honestly where the bulk of the vehicles are that I'm looking at.

I guess I should've asked this from the start, but where is the best place to buy one that hasn't been abused by the police and was just a managers car/or drove lightly? Thanks again, I'm just ready to buy this week!

sometimes you find clean ones on Craigslist that dealers will pick up at auction - BUT good cars are where you find em.
